Goth cats
Somebody with too much time on their hands:
Three kittens with ear, neck and tail piercings were removed from a home by humane officers
on Wednesday.
One of the officers from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Luzerne County said the pierced kittens were being sold as "gothic kittens" on an Internet auction site.
"This is a first," said Officer Carol Morrison. "It's unbelievable anybody would do this to kittens."
Morrison said the investigation began about a week ago when a man from another state noticed "gothic kittens" being sold on eBay. The kittens were also being sold on a pet classified Web site with an attached picture of a pierced kitten.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
